France’s film industry is a counterpoint. While there are some good films, they are the exception. A lot of real crap gets made in France because they don’t answer to the box office. (I really love the French New Wave, so I’m not a French film hater — but there is a lot of garbage that gets made because of how films get funded and exhibited — i.e. nationalistic film quotas.) The UK on the other hand has some pretty cool films — it seems to be a hybrid of the American privately funded system with some non-profit support.
The Korean film industry is “capitalistic” and they are putting out some really great stuff; though Korean “dramas” are the East-Asian version of novellas — I can live without that. But the people seem to like it.
